Thank you Nancy, this photo was taken just a few weeks before her death. One of her close friend's grandmother felt compelled to take this picture and a few more. What you see here is the cover of the Thank You card that was mailed out to everyone after the funeral. Take care, xoxo

A story shared, is a story lived.

When we all share our stories, we share a part of our humanity. Throughout the ages, stories have been a means of passing on history, learning skills, and finding out who we are. The stories shared in this blog are those of hope and learning to live again after loss. The goal is to help those who may be dealing with grief and to give insight to those who may be attempting to help a family member, friend or even a co-worker who is going through a difficult time. I truly welcome your comments, your experiences and your insights. And always remember, you are not alone.
